Anyone else feel bad about the death of Mercury? My father was a Ford executive from 1957-1980, We manily had Galaxies, but we upgraded to a 1977 Grand Marquis two door coupe. Loved that car. I hate to see it go, but I understand that the brand has no place anymore.

'59 Apache I inherited from my dad (he bought it and dumped a bunch of money into it, but passed away before the shop finished all the work). It has a 350/TH350... slightly out of place looking late 60's Mustang bucket seats... and is a frankenstein's mess of mishmashed parts from a variety of cars... but it looks good and drives in almost a straight line...

Check out this monster- created by the same individual that made Leno's "Tank Rod"

"of a chopped Peterbilt model 351 cab and an 852ci two-stroke Detroit Diesel twin-supercharged V12 mated to an Allison 4-speed automatic transmission from a Greyhound bus. The engine produces 500 horsepower and nearly 1000 lb-ft torque with a redline of just 2,800 rpm."

What a unique looking piece of machinery. The only thing I wish was that the interior was decked out a little bit more. Maybe a little more leather, some turned aluminum on the dash and it would be even MORE amazing!
